Faults:
The vehicle was delivered with numerous fit and finish flaws.
The dash was installed twisted, crooked side to side, and top to bottom, the result being a persistent squeak that service has been unable to find and correct.
The steering wheel hub was covered in adhesive.
The rubber moulding on the A-pillars was installed half in and half out of the plastic trim.
The trim in the trunk fell off.
The mechanicals are even worse.
In the first 10 months of ownership, the vehicle was in for engine stumbling, stalling problems 7 times.
The engine management software has been replaced.
The fuel pump has been replaced.
4 injectors have been replaced.
The EGR valve has been replaced numerous times.
The oxygen sensor in the exhaust system has been replaced twice.
The entire windshield wiper/washer and turn signal unit on the steering wheel has been replaced. The turn signals would turn themselves on for no apparent reason.
The electrical system failed while the dealer had the vehicle fixing the engine management problems.
The rear bumper mounted back-up lights constantly fill with water and short out.
General Comments:
I can only assume that there was no quality checking done on this vehicle before it left the Lansing Penn. assembly site.
I complained about the problems directly to GM Canada, but was given no help whatsoever.
The 3.4L V6 seems to make more noise than power.
I will never buy another GM product, they are shoddily built and the company doesn't stand behind the product.
